E-TaCREG Regulator Adapter for Airforce Air Rifles.

I am proud to introduce the E-TaCREG; the second generation American made Ergonomic Talon and Condor Adapter (E-TaC) Adapter.

This newest member of the E-TaC family allows the user to regulate the OEM Airforce bottle or install a high-pressure-air (HPA) tank and JDSAirman (www.jdsairman.com) regulator on an Airforce Talon or Condor rifle and enjoy all the benefits of a regulated airgun.

Any JDSAirman regulator can be used, regardless of output pressure.

Custom designed to accept only the lower half of the JDSAirman regulator allows for a shorter length of pull than using the entire regulator. The size of the regulated-air chamber is increased and located closer to the valve with less flow restrictions between the air source and pellet meaning more power per shot and higher regulator efficiency than any other regulator-to-Airforce adapter.

The E-TaCREG and JDSAirman regulator will increase the chosen bottle’s length of pull by 3.5-inches. When used with a 48-cubic-inch tank the overall length of pull will be 12.75-inches. Almost the same as a stock Airforce rifle. Although the high-pressure tanks have a larger diameter, the E-TaCREG accommodates this with it’s cast-off and drop ensuring perfect cheekweld and head position.

Available in right hand, left hand, straight out (ambidextrous), and straight angled drop (ambidextrous). They are made of steel and matte black Duracoat finished.

The E-TaCREG will work with any Airforce valve, as well as any aftermarket valve with an in-tank length of less than 1 7/16-inches. Performance cannot be guaranteed with aftermarket valves. Only JDSAirman regulators will work with the E-TaCREG. These American made regulators have the high-quality, consistent internal dimensions and quality controls required to base another product upon. Cheaper, offshore regulators can be of questionable quality, consistency, and flow properties. I choose JDSAirman because I believe in his products, I think you will find they are excellent regulators and the E-TaCREG complements them very nicely.

The cost of the E-TaCREG is $105, with a regulator it is $185 shipped CONUS. International shipping will be quoted at time of order. I don't charge handling or packaging fees, just the cost of postage. I can combine the E-TaCREG with a JDS Airman regulator and bottle as well. This setup typically costs $217-227 depending on the output pressure and tank chosen. Please see www.jdsairman.com/Airforce.html

Along with the E-TaCREG you will get shims and an o-ring.

You can purchase the E-TaC and E-TaCREG in my store.

Installation Instructions for the E-TaCREG

My suggestion for setting it up properly are as follows:

Remove all the air from the tank.

Remove the valve from the tank.

Install the valve in the front of the E-TaCREG body, install the regulator into the tank. These are all o-ring seals, so you don't have to tighten them very much.

Install the bottle back onto the gun and check the timing. The flats on the side of the tank should be vertical, or to your preferred location. If they are not, you have two options: 1. Install the provided timing shims between the valve and the back of the rifle until it is timed 2. Remove the pistol grip and bottom plate from your rifle. Above the pistol grip is a set screw holding the threaded bottle adapter ring to the frame(there may be two of them) Loosen it/them and rotate the threaded bottle adapter ring until the timing is correct, then retighten the setscrews.

Setting the adjustments/tuning:

Turn the hammer spring pre-load adjustment (Powerwheel) to get maximum velocity from your current top hat setting.

Adjust the top hat to get your desired velocity

Begin lightening the preload with the Powerwheel until you notice a drop in velocity. Then adjust it back so the velocity is the same as before you lightened it.

Theory behind Setting the adjustments/tuning: We want the valve to open until the tophat stops it each and every time, but don't want to be hammering it with any more impact energy than is necessary.
